I'm pretty sure they're waiting because the sub sales are still on and the set might be more than people are expecting. I know there's no direct connection, but some people may not get a 2014 sub because Mattel have shown Plundor who isn't even part of the 2014 sub either...

There are some that think this set might be $35...
I mean come on! It's a vehicle PLUS a $25 figure!

i don't see this being less than $60.

Press down on dragon's head. It sprays enemies with a jet of water!Press down on a camera's shutter release.It will take pictures that tell stories!

I apologize for being RIGHT about the figure being dumb personally. But I am sure it's a cheap repaint figure with boring Trap-Jaw parts.......... One, More, Time ! And yes, personally that wacko wing sucks big time.

Honestly I had forgot who the figure was representing, but it just looks cool by itself, and the sled is awesome, hopefully I will be home on the day of sale what is the earliest you can order on the day of?

They know how much...no one is capable of posting on a board. Matty is so disorganized - we get sale day listings sometimes 3 days in advance of a sale. There is no one in charge of Mattycollector...it is a collective hodge-podge.

And please always remember and don't ever forget...that this figure is the single greatest figure EVER to be released.

I apologize for being RIGHT about being WRONG about the figure being dumb personally. But I am sure it's a cheap repaint figure with boring Trap-Jaw parts..........THAT I LOVE! In fact, I've got a nicely framed picture on my wall of JUST the Trap-Jaw legs. One, More, Time! And yes, personally that wacko wing sucks big time, but in a good way. Like how you have to suck on jawbreakers. It can only end well!

Fixed the fixed it again! Again? This can only end when one of us gets bored.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.

So this small vehicle that doesn't have any moving parts, nor play-features, nor a stand should sell as much as a Battle-Cat or a Panthor!!??... I surely hope not!

this is mattel and DR. there are no discounts for lack of moving parts. we're going to pay a high price for this high-end adult collector item. we're also going to be paying a bit more on shipping and handling. PLUS they used paint instead of stickers, and that's going to cost us too. I can easily see them slapping a $50-$60 tag on this. Which is probably why they're waiting to reveal the price.

The Wind-Raider had many moving parts, including a play feature, "twice" the size of the Sled, no stickers, all painted and sculpted part, and even an articulated stand, yet it was initially sold for $45, then $55 just right before it was sold out!... $35 for a single piece Sled is clearly a rip-off!

the BM already tells us they under charge us and that we should be paying more for our figures. the cost of tooling, deco and labor has gone up. logistically they just can't afford to offer things at prices they would like to, it isn't 2009 anymore. fans who feel ripped off are not the fans this line needs. this line need fans who will pay for a premium small hunk of non-articulated plastic.

I remember hearing $35 for the holiday item, before we knew what it was. The Sky Sled has no articulation...just a chunk of plastic with deco. Since Sky High doesn't really come with any accessories, I think $10 extra is sufficient for the Sky Sled. Hope I'm right, because $$$ is tight.

This is what I was saying, at least $$45 - $50, if it's less, I'll be surprised.

Doesn't matter, Look at it this way, DR charges a base $10 shipping if you were to order a dead fly....how is it hard to believe that a given $25 - $27 figure packaged with a vehicle, moving parts or not will cost at least $45 - $50? This from a company that doesn't even discount 2 or 3 packs when there are more figures, and better yet a Horde Trooper 2-pack with identical tooling on both figures aside from 4 unique small accessories.

I apologize for being RIGHT about the figure being dumb personally. Some fans may feel otherwise, But I am sure it's a cheap repaint figure with boring Trap-Jaw boots........ One...... More...... Time ! Oh Yeah, that Trap-Jaw boots sucks BIG TIME ! They are old, peg hole visible, & one of them can't even articulate better !! Now that's what you call......... LAME !!

I happen to like him Trap Jaw boots and all.... Am I getting tired of seeing them? yes, for sure, but on him they actually look OK. As for the wing....I could live without that thing, because without it on, he has that huge ass pack like Sy-Klone does, and that I don't like because I don't like the huge ass thing on Fisto's back either....but my figures are displayed from the front, so it's not that bad.

But I do like him, and think he looks cool, he looks better to me than Dawg-O-Tor does with the even more tired furry boots....even with no peg hole, they are still the same old boots. And not to mention I don't like Sherrilyn much either, so....and I know SH isn't a "Foe Man" but I would have rather had him than her. Even though too....I think the AT pilot would have been better if left a dude, like the artwork showed, or at least not used the damn BG Teela buck again.

But I vote for the retirement of the TJ legs.... they could have used Snouts boots, or Even though I'm not fond of them...Icarius'. But I think in SH's case, he wears the TJ boots well.

I agree that the Trap Jaw legs work very well on him. It's also a shame he didn't come with the FFM...I might have kept them otherwise.
